SMOKES DREAM.
THE STORY OF A SUPERSTITION OF
THE RACE TRACK.
A Recollection of "Paw-Paw," the Noted
Turfman-The Famous Gainesville Con-
test and How He Came to Stake His
Money on the Winning Colt, LongfeIlow.

People who follow the turf are apt to
be strong believers in luck and have all
sorts of superstilions in regard to good
and bad omens. During the last race
meeting at New Orleans had a good
deal of entertainment one day when rain
had stopped the racing listening to the
talk about ups and downs of sporting
life that went on among party of turf
men sitting in the St. Charles Hotel.
Among the number was an old-timer
who went by the nickname of "Paw-
Paw" and who had the reputation of
being very lucky in picking out the win
ners. He was quiet fellow, having but
little to say as a rule, but he had an air
of shrewdness and good-humor that
was very inviting. Some of the party
endeavored to draw him out in regard to
his experiences, and he told story
about how he had once made big win
ming through a dream that interested me
very much. "You know" he said, show
once at Gainesville l cleaned out the
booksellers by backing the Longfellow
colt. You fellows all remember how we
used to laugh at that colt, and how we
guyed his owner. Iselieved just as you

GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

If you would not fall into sin, do not
sit by the door of temptation.
The greatest of faults, should say, is
to be conscious of none.-Carlyle.
Worthy books are not companions,
they are solitudes we lose ourselves in them,
and all our cares.-Bdiley.
For in life's path of honor and of duty,
Each day fulfills the promise of the last;
He best may hope to win the futures beauty
Who best has kept the treasures of the
past Mrs. Mary II. Blake
Look not so much on other mems
faults as on thine own. Thou knowest thine
own faults, but it is difficult to know the true
nature and degree of the faults of Others A
disposition to judge others turns the soul from
its true centre in God, brings it outward and
takes away its repose Judge not that thou be
not judged.-Molinos.
If thou receivest an injury from any
man, remember there are two things in it, viz,
the sin of him who does it, and the suffering
which is inflicted on myself. The sin is against
the will of God, and it greatly displeases Him,
though He permits it, But the suffering which
thou art called to endure is not in opposition
to His will. But on the contrary He wills it for
thy good. Wherefore thou oughtest to receive
it from his hand.
Learn we to ask of God the things
which it is meet for us to ask of Him. The
things which belong to this life, whichever
WY they may fall out, can do us no injury;
for if we be rich it is here only we shall enjoy
our luxury; and if we fall into poverty, we
shall suffer nothing terrible. For neither the
srlendors nor the pains of the present life
have much power; they are contemplate, and
slip away very swiftly For what is the ad-
vantage of this worlds luxury? To-day it is,
and tomorrow it is not to-day bright flower,
tomorrow scattered dust; to-day burning
fire, tomorrow smOldering ashes. But spir-
itual things are not so they ever remain shin
ing and blooming, and become brighter every
day.-St ChrySOStOm.

reports-constantly increasing in value
that the signal office sends out. Now, it
is certain that these reports would be far
less useful were it not that the science of
meteorology had been greatly enriched
by the studies of Polar explorers. The
world is a great book of knowledge that
is constantly unfolding fresh pages to
the delighted student. But we may ac-
cept this as general principle, that our
knowledge of the geography and physics
of the earth will be fragmentary so long
as any large area remains imperfectly
known
We have read much of the great glacial
epoch, when enormous ice masses, push
ing south, flowed out great valleys and
scattered rocky debris over the greater
part of the northern half of our country
In the Antarctic continent that Ross dis
covered, this very phen omenon, whose ac-
ton, as seen in our own land, is still i'm
perfectly understood, may be studied in
active operation, and this is one reason
why researches in the South Polar zone
are soon likely to be resumed. 1t is
puerile and unscientific idea to suppose
that the purpose for which Polar explora-
tions is now advocated is merely to find
two imaginary spots on the globe known
as the North and South Poles. When
we realize the fact that were it not
for the cold currents of water and
air flowing from the poles to the central
regions life could not exist under the
blazing sun of the tropics, and that were
it not for the counteracting warm cur
rents from the equator our country would
be a old mass of ice incapable of sup
porting human life, we can readily un-
derstand that these and other Arctic phe-
the Welfare Of every human being and
that scientific men invade the ice regious
for more laudable purposes than merely
to raise a flag over the termini of the
earth's axis.

The Sanctum Fiend Attunes His Tyre and

Perhaps in providential ways this super

masked beneficence to end in ways en-

But 10! in summers verdant fields
which glimmer to the vision when dreamy

walls in depredation's frolic and soon are
seen with apples green and later with a

poised swing maids, than flowers sweeter,
to toss book with angry look at
every probing "skeeter," when city
chaps with wrathful groan the frauds are
recognizing, of country air, and sadly
swear at skillful advertising when every
thing with sober truth in wide hiatus
varies, and dainty maids, within the
glades, pick humble bees for berries,
when dandy dudes, the mooly's milk
are clumsily purloining, and get
kick that sends them quick into field

We long for some barbaric isle where
spicy gales enhancing toy with tress,
steal a caress from dusky beauties dane

among such tropic splendors is just
the pants that nature grants which do

WHY SOME LAKES ARE SALT.
The Subject Considered from Scien-
tific Standpoint.

The Subject Considered from q Scien-
tific Standpoint.
The cause of the sadness of some American
lakes is too patent to require many words of
explanation. 1t is probable that, when the
continents were raised from the sea, the lake
basins had been already formed, and came
up, therefore. brimful of water. In the
northern and eastern part of the continent,
where the supply from rain and snowfall
exceeds the loss by evaporation, the salt,
being continuously carried away through
their outlets, has become so diluted as to be
an imperceptible quantity. In arid regions, as
the Pacific slope and the country about the
Caspian, where the evaporation was in excess
of the supply the water level of the lakes con-
tinuously sank until, on account OF the dimin-
ished extent of surface the equilibrium
of loss and gain was attained. Hence the
exceeding sadness of Great Salt lake, the
Dead sea, &c. For like reason the water
of the Mediterranean contains more salt
relatively than that of the ocean. Evapora-
ton exceeding the supplies from the rivers
and rainfall, it requires a constant current
through the Strait of Gibraltar The same
through the Strait of Bah ell Mandeb. Other
salt or brackish lakes probably owe their
sadness to the supplies from the land.
Water being the most genial of all solvents,
the rain gathers up the chloride OF sodium
from the soils and the disintegrating rocks,
and where the streams fall into lakes whose
only outlet is evaporation, the land itself
must be a constant source of saline supply,
and their waters must become more and
more salt, until their capacity as a solvent
has been reached.
The Utah basin must once have filled to
its brim with ocean water. The outlet has
been evaporation. The lake, receding to its
present level, has left many evidences of its
former extent-P0p,slar Science Monthly.

1t was of great Importance to naviga-
tors in northern ATTITUDES to determine
the exact position of the north magnetic
pole in order to make the needle a per-
fectly trustworthy guide. One day
about fifty-six years ago, while the
famous Polar traveller, Sir James Ross,
was sledging over the ice hummocks
north of this continent, he found place
on the western shore of Boothia Felix,
where the dipping wholly lost its
directive power and stood within one
minute of the vertical This discovery
enabled Greedy at Lady Franklin bay,
when he found his needle pointing nearly
southwest, to determine the true north
by few minutes calculation. The posi-
ton of the south magnetic pole has also
been approximately determined, and not
sea captain sails the ocean to-day who
is not greatly indebted to these dis
coveries.
These magnetic poles slowly move
back and forth across the Polar area
They have probably changed their posi-
ton since they were found, and scientific
men are now urging the Importance of
sending ont expeditions to relocate them.
There is hardly citizen of this coun-
try who is not benefited by the weather

As long as the science of oceanology,
to which the work of the Challenger has
given such an impetus, is still in its in
fancy, as long as our knowledge of winds,
currents and magnetic elementsis incom-
plete and unsatisfactory, it cannot be said
that there are no more scientific facts of
Importance to be gathered in the Polar
zones. Many beneficial results, too, have
followed from researches not scientific
in their nature.
1t was the Arctic explorer who discov-
cred the Greenland fisheries which have
yielded untold millions. 1t was he who
found in Greenland the new mineral cry
olite, of which 5000 tons are annually
sent to the United States alone to be
used in the manufacture of white porce
lain and caustic soda. He has perfected
the art of travelling in high ATTITUDES.
With his improved sledges and equip
ments and his system of auxiliary sledges
and supply depots he has made possible

When Greely's men were struggling
down Smith sound, the leader, as soon
as he saw them nearly worn out with
hardships, told them they had but to
speak the word and he would tighten
their burden by throwing away the scien-
tlfic instruments. No one said the word,
but some of the men cried, 'Let us hold
on to the instruments, boys, and if they
go to the bottom of the sea we'll go with
them" G. @. ADAMS.

Inadequate Mortal.

A scientific journal, in an attempt toprove
that mankind could not exert mechanical
force enough of their own to produce the
amount of heat needed to raise the crops
necessary daily to feed themselves, states
that ''the mechanical equivalent of the YER
teal sunshine received upon a square mile
of the earth's surface is computed to be
3,323, 900 900 pounds raised foot high in
second" Those who have survived the suns
rays during the past few weeks must think
these figures at least approximately correct.

Everywhere he went
there were many who said he must
be crazy He visited numerous places,
from the equator to the region of eter-
nal snow, far within the Arctic cir
Gle. In all these places he went through
the same performance. He built little
stone houses, partly underground, and
in them solid stone platforms, on which
he placed clocks or detached pendulums.
People thought him crank for this,rea-
son above all others, because he was
very nervous about the tempera-
ture in his little huts, watching
almost night and day to keep
the temperature perfectly even. This
man was the renowned Sabine, whose
experiments determined the length OF
pendulum required to beat seconds in
many ATTITUDES. In other words, he found
by means of the pendulum the amount
of the earth's attraction in different lati-
tudes and as this depends upon the dis
lance to the centre of the earth he laid
the basis for an accurate determination
of the figure of the earth. Sabine's
work illustrates the fact that most scien-
tific problems cannot be fully studied and
mastered unless the phenomena relating
to them have been carefully observed in
all parts of the world. This is the main
value of past Polar exploration and the
chief argument in favor of future re-
search.
A while ago two travellers discovered a
river in Africa which they followed north
until it emptied into Stanley's Mini river.
The Mini is the outlet of the large lake,
Leopold II, also discovered by Stanley.
These travellers came home and reported
that, although they had sought for the lake
where Stanley had placed it on his map,
they could not find it. 1t turned out
that they and not Stanley were at fault.
They had made the funny blunder of for
getting to allow for the declination of
the magnetic needle, and therefore
thought themselves further north and
further east than they really were. In
other words, by failing to make use of
mathematical tables derived in part from
great discovery made in the Arctic
regions over fifty years ago, they perpe-
trated curious blunder in Africa We
will briefly allude to this discovery.
The old saying, "True as the needle to
the POLE" is quite misleading, because
three people in five who use it are think
ing of the North Pole, while the fact is
that the termini of the earth's axis are
not coincident with the magnetic poles.

The Air Of the ses.

The air Of the sea, taken at great distance
from land, or even on the shore and in ports
when the wind blows from the open, Ia in
an almost perfect state Of purity. Near con-
tinents the land winds drive before them an
atmosphere always impure, but at 100 kilo-
metres from the coasts this impurity has
disappeared. The sea rapidly purifies the
pestilential atmosphere Of continents; hence
every expanse of water of a certain breadth
becomes an absolute obstacle to the propa-
cation OF epidemics. Marine atmospheres
driven upon land purify sensibly the air of
the regions which they traverse; this purifi-
cation can be recognized as far as Paris. The
sea is the tomb of the molds and of aerial
schizophytes.-MM. Moredu and MIGUEL.

Across the laughing face of day,
As slowly rolls curtain gray
From off the sea.

And folding in the saddened land,

That settles o er them cold and pale,
